Lately, the crypto world has been buzzing about utility coins – those tokens with real-world applications stealing the spotlight from pure fun-driven meme coins. But according to Eric Hayden, a prominent voice in the space, that's about to change. In a recent tweet, Hayden points out that as we head into the fourth quarter of 2025, liquidity is likely to rotate back down the risk curve, meaning investors might start pouring money into riskier, more volatile assets like meme coins again. This could trigger a "mean reversion" – basically, a return to average performance levels after a period of underperformance.
Hayden's particularly excited about "cat szn," a playful term for a season where cat-themed meme coins take center stage. He's positioning early in three standout tokens: $MOG, $POPCAT, and $Kitty. Let's break down why he's bullish on each.
$MOG Shows Clear Strength
$MOG, short for Mog Coin, is leading the pack with some solid technical indicators. Hayden highlights how its price has broken out of a significant downtrend – that's when the price stops falling in a predictable pattern and starts showing upward momentum. Adding to the confidence is a "reclaim and test" of a key structure order block, which in trading lingo means the price has bounced back to test a support level successfully, signaling potential bullish (upward) trends ahead.
$POPCAT Forming a Strong Base
Next up is $POPCAT, which Hayden sees as forming a base – the early stages where the price stabilizes after a drop, often prelude to a rally. The chart shows compression of highs and lows, meaning the price swings are getting tighter, which can indicate fading bearish (downward) momentum. He also notes liquidity rotation from chains like Solana to BSC (Binance Smart Chain) might explain why $POPCAT has lagged behind $MOG, but it's respecting key order blocks, a good sign for future growth.
Betting on $Kitty and the Bonk Ecosystem
For $Kitty, Hayden skips the "scribbly lines" (fancy technical analysis) and instead bets on the creator @artsch00lreject and its ties to the Bonk ecosystem. Bonk is another popular meme coin on Solana, and ecosystems like this often see interconnected growth. If cat szn hits, $Kitty could ride the wave thanks to strong community and creative backing.
The thread has sparked reactions from the community, with replies echoing support for these picks and even suggesting others like $ANDREA. It's clear that meme coins aren't dead; they're just waiting for their moment. If you're into blockchain and looking to spice up your portfolio, keeping an eye on these cat memes could pay off as we close out 2025.
